Product SpecificationsWith its sinuous curves and elegant keyhole-shaped vents, Dirt Devil's Kurv looks more like a space-age vase than a household cleaning product. And while it picks up crumbs, dust, and spills just as well as your averagely ugly cordless handheld vacuum, the machine's aesthetics are its major drawing card. Created by renowned industrial designer Karim Rashid, the Kurv is stylish enough to leave out on the counter or coffeetable, where it's more likely to come into play sooner--before the Cheerios are ground into the Karastan, in other words, or just as the last-minute guests are due to arrive. The cordless design plugs into a charging base for storage, so the unit is always ready to go, and the dirt cup simply twists off to empty, sparing users the hassle and expense of disposable bags. Weighing in at just two pounds, the Kurv also features a replaceable filter and a soft tip, to protect delicate surfaces like hardwood floors or antique furniture. It comes backed by a limited three-year warranty. --Mary Park
Dirt Devil M0216CHM Kurv Handheld Vacuum Cleaner Reviews By CustomersI've had a few other Dust Busters before, and I have regularly used handheld vacuums at friends' houses during play dates with our kids -- I think this Dirt Devil Kurv is far and away the best handheld vacuum I've ever used. Here are my overall thoughts on the product:
- This thing really holds a charge well, and suction is better than any others I've tried, even ones that should theoretically be much more powerful. I think that is in part due to the small mouth of the vacuum. (But no way is it going to pick up anything heavy.)
- The mouth of the vacuum is not very big, but it's not meant for vacuuming up large areas. It is perfect for getting into crevices (like in high chairs), corners, under base cabinets, behind furniture, along chair rails or baseboards, etc.
- The inside storage container is smaller than some others I've seen, but I used it multiple times every single day and probably empty it every 3-4 days. Emptying it is extremely easy, except that you have to put the top portion of the vacuum down because removing the filter and emptying the contents requires two hands.
- The only thing I'd really consider a "con" about this handheld is that the vent goes all the way around the middle. So you must start vacuuming close to you and work away from you to prevent the stuff you're trying to vacuum up from blowing around. Still, that's easily done, so not a true "con."
This thing is so easy my 2-year-old and 4-year-old can use it, and they think it's easy to hold and love to vacuum up after themselves with it! I think this is a must-have if you have small children.
pleasantly surprised - seasoned shopper -
I am so glad that I did not listen to the negative reviews on this product. I don't know if some people expect it to do more than it was meant to do; I always considered these hand held vacuums to be for quick pick ups. I always had the traditional Black and Decker dust busters but I wanted something pretty that I could keep out in my bathroom for picking up hair that always accumulates on the floor and counter from combing and styling hair. This fits the bill and more!!It has much more power than the old B&D dust busters,I am not bothered by the blowing air(all dust busters do this you just have to get used to it), and it is pretty enough to keep on the counter which means it gets used more often ( you know out of sight out of mind). Overall, I am very pleased with this product and would consider getting another one for the downstairs area.

this product works well, it is a bit heavy at the front end so you have to hold it carefully or it will tilt forward
